My mind buzzes with questions and my senses are alive again. Carefully, I creep out of my bed and clutch the cold, golden door handle just when im about to turn it one of the med-jacks who was looking after someone else comes in.
"What do you think your doing?" He exclaims
I have no time for explanations and arguments so I choose the quickest way to get out of here.
"Im really sorry about this," I muttered
Then I swing my around and punch him in the face, he stumble back in shock and then falls onto my previous bed groaning. I fling the door open and run down the stairs, covering my face with my hand, not wanting to be noticed. Once I get outside I take a deep breath of the fresh air and scan the area for Newt. But he is nowhere to be seen. I wonder if I should ask somebody but they would recognise me in an instant and shove me back into the stinky, cramped medical room. Instead I follow my instincts and go to Newts working place, the gardens. I peer throught a large bush and try to spot Newt but again. He is no where to be seen. I decide to check one place at a time and sneak to my next location. The deadheads forest. Once I am far enough in the dense forest I relax a little, I listen for any human sounds but instead I hear the clicks of the beetle blades and they scuttle about endlessly. There is an opening up ahead, and suddenly I hear murmuring. I lean against one of the sturdy, thick tree's and peer around the corner, into the open. Immediately I spot a blonde, lanky figure sat on, what looked like a very uncomfortable, rock. His head is bowed down and looking at his arm, but I cannot see what he is staring at as his body blocks the view. I decide to silently creep a little closer and when I do the sun reflects off a shiny, silver surface that Newt is holding in his hand. I crouch down to get a better look at it and realise what it it immediately. A razor. Newt rolls up the sleeve of one of his arms and then he presses the razor onto it very firmly, making the skin surrounding it turn white. I leap out of my hiding place and shout at him, his head swivels around in suprise and his eyes open wide then he turns back to his arm and presses even harder. I charge at him and push him onto the ground, the razor falls out of his hand and lands a couple of metres away from us. Immediately he scramble for it but I pull his leg making him collapse again. I lie him on his back and forcefully hold his wrists then sit ontop of his legs. He attempts to escape by rocking side to side but fails and eventually gives up.
"What were you doing?" I mutter to him
"Wasn't it obvious? Trying to kill myself,"
I let go of him and pick up the razor then decide to safely store it in my pocket. Newt walks to the nearest tree and slumps down beside it, I join and sit next to him.
"Why would you want to do that?" I question him
He opens his mouth to speak but then closes it.
"Have I every told why I got this bloody limp?" He spits clearly frustrated
I shake my head.
"I tried to kill myself in the maze," he paused "climbed halfway up one of those shucking walls and jumped right off. Alby managed to save me and return me back to the galde before those doors closed. I absolutely hate this place! " his voice rises at the last few words
I sit in silence not sure what to say. But I finally manage to think of something to say.
"Your not the only one Newt, not the only one," I whisper
Then I gently take his arm and examine it for any injuries but all is good.
"Your one of the only ones that know the truth about it, many just think I tripped and fell,"
My heart rises a little and I feel a bit more cheerful due to the fact that Newt trusts me.
"You know what, I actually came to speak to you," I say
He lifts his head and looks up at me, his eyes still bloodshot and his eyes red
"you did?" He replies
"Yeah..." I swallow hard "I was thinking, if we never get out of this maze, or die trying to," I glance at him "I just wanted you to know that...I....I love you Newt," as the last few words roll off my tongue I hear shouting behind us
Newt stares at me for a minute, in disbelief then stands up. I stand up as well, waiting for a reaction, he pulls me into a hug, his arms slither around my waist and he whispers into my ear,
"I bloody love you too,"
